Comparing Ecosystems - Tesla vs Enphase

I love the Schneider Electric shirt! Life is On!

I wonder if the APIs for these systems could be consolidated and included in a future version of Matter so that all brands could work together?

Bidirectional charging IS the future.

Could we add a Tigo to monitor production at the panel level with the TPW3?

What is the point of a meter collar on an enphase system? The System Controller 3 takes the two hot legs and the neutral from the meter, and sends two hot legs and a neutral to the home breaker panel (in the whole home variant of the setup). The ATS is in the System Controller. Very simple to wire, no extra funky boxes. The limitations on battery current are down to the bus bar limits in the System Controller 3. If you forgo integrated generator support, you can push 160 amps continuous during an outage.

Here in Puerto Rico we all need the backup 😞

kudos for even making this comparison most non tesla solar companies are too biased to entertain the value of the Tesla ecosystem(outside PW2). Regardless I think an increasing percentage of the market will not wait for Enphase/Solaredge etc to catch up. Tesla inverters are underrated and the fact that now consumers can get a power wall 3 for a few thousand more than just an enphase system will sway many!

Thoughts on an Enphase system but with a Tesla Powerwall 3?

Hi Dale, will you be interested in reviewing our new Avalon Wholehome energy storage solution which has built-in load shedding, level 2 EV charger integration?

I have Tesla. Tiles 12 kw tiles but inverter is 7.7 3 strings coming to inverter plus to power walls during month of march to mid November it getting clipped from 9 am to 4 pm what will be the options for me near future if I want to get upgrade to Tesla 3 what u suggest ?

Here’s the biggest thing, can someone with the Tesla PowerWall 2 (not plus with the inverter on top) use the meter collar.

You didn’t mention the system reliability upside AC architectures have when it comes to panel level redundancy. The Enphase architecture can also more effectively deal with panel output voltage variability due to degradation of output voltage at the panel level be it by localized shading or cell failure within the panel or even complete failure of a panel.

You mention the benefit of Microinverters but leave out the use of Optimizers which would give you nearly the granularity when troubleshooting individual panels.

Is the Meter Collar rated for 200 amp service??

I'm a Mechatronics Technician. I've installed variuos systems throughout the world. Let me know if need some help on your install team.

So tesla backup switch is the current best design

11:08 this!!! while the PW3 is impressive, it is still a generation behind including its EVs. At this point, Tesla PW should have capability to DC charge an EV whether it comes from solar or battery to avoid losses with DC to AC then AC to DC conversion. In addition, Tesla EVs should have V2G by now. The current system on the Cybertruck is not V2G and will require a separate hardware to power a house. Hopefully that new hardware should be able to talk to/integrate with the PW3. But then, that is convoluted whereas a Powerwall should be able handle all these. Ugghgh, Nissan/Japan have the V2G idea for around ten years and no product does it seamlessly

"The International Energy Agency (IEA) predicts that globally 'electricity consumption from data centres, artificial intelligence (AI) and the cryptocurrency sector could double by 2026.' By 2026, they say global data centers' energy demand will equal that of the entirety of Japan. There are currently an estimated 2,700 data centers within the US according to the IEA, which sapped over four percent of the nation's electricity in 2022. They predict that by 2026, their consumption will rise to six percent. The rise is being driven largely by developments in AI, cloud computing and cryptocurrency mining all of which require large data centers which in turn consume vast amounts of power. " ~by Isabelle Stanley, For Dailymail Maybe we should all be getting solar and battery not just to protect ourselves but to help the grid too. And in some places there will be pay from the grid for our solar-generated electricity.

For most people around the country, Tesla is not even an option. They don’t serve a lot of states. Also, I thought string inverters don’t do as well with shading? Surprised it wasn’t mentioned. Unless you live in California with a perfect roof for sun, Tesla is not a good choice. Finally, I know you can’t say it, but Tesla’s customer service is a crap show in my opinion.

I think this is good content, but the presentation lets it down a bit. When you talk, and talk....and talk - an endless stream of words with no gaps - it is hard for us as listeners to organise our thoughts because more words are being shoved in our ears. There is no room for us to THINK - about how this fits (or not) with what we already know. So it's not a good learning experience. There is a bit of repetition too, which could be removed with planning. Can I recommend someone with REALLY good planning and delivery - perfection, in fact - to emulate? It is youtube.com/@GaryDoesSolar I know it's UK-focused, but it's the presentational style that I'm drawing attention to. This isn't discouragement, BTW - the opposite!
